And a recent trip over the Skyline
route by the white Oregonian-Ore-on
State Motor association travel
car, with Secretary of State Earl
Bnell, Sheriff A. C. Burke of Ma

'of that 14-years-ago prophecy.
The Skyline trail has been made
Jnto a highway. Not a wide, smooth
r straight highway, to be sure, nor
one conducive to high speed, but
. a, thoroughly enjoyable auto road,
. easily negotiated in less than two
Idays, offering some of the grand
est mountain and lake scenery of
the state, If not the entire Faclfio

early Monday morning, rolled down

of the North and South Santlam
routes. Over this part of the road

more rounded peak. Between the
two nestles the sparkling expanse
of Diamond lake, while Bald butte

the background.
Out of Diamond lake the Skyline
road rapidly gained altitude, until
Its narrow but surprising smooth
dirt surface was winding along a
high ridge, through the lodgepole
pines of near-tlmberllne. The en
tire section of road, including the
erosfllng of Wlndlgo pass, was dry,
reasonably smooth, and well engi
neered to eliminate steep grades.
The drive around Crescent lake
offers the motorist a delightful
view of mountains and water, cul

From Elk lake the road swings
east to skirt the rugged Three
Sisters; a 24-mile portion of the
Skyline through the Three Sisters
game refuge, and over the very
shoulders of the peaks themselves
was the only section not yet open
to traffic. It was still closed by
snow, so the motorloggers headed
for Bend, passing Devil's lake and
Sparks lake.

FOR HOMEMAKERS
Five Days of Rest and Rec
reation at Union Creek
Park Ended Last Week
Programs . Enjoyed Daily
Jackson county women as WeU e
those from Klamath and Josephine
counties, are - swinging Into their
work with a new vigor this week
upon their return Friday from a
five-day period of rest and recrea
tion at the county homemskers'
camp held at . Union Creek forest
park last week,, which was spon
sored by the Oregon extension ser
vice. A real outdoor camping spirit pre
vailed. Inasmuch as meals were served
on outdoor tables decorated with
huge burs and wild rlnea, and camp
ers slept In tents or under the stars
as they chose. All meals were pre
pared from carefully selected menus
by Mrs. Carl Sutton from the state
college, and were cooked In the com
munity kitchen. Mrs. Mildred Drury
of Med ford was assistant cook.
Dally Trips.
A few hours each day were de
voted to trips to surrounding points
of Interest, Including the natural
bridge over Rogue river. Crater and
Diamond lakes, Rogue River Gorge,
and Hershberger lookout. Karl h.
Jan ouch, forest supervisor at Med
ford, was among those who furnish
ed transportation. Clayton Weaver,
ranger at Union Creek, accompanied
the motor caravan to Hershberger,
explaining the functions of the fire
detection force. He located a typi
cal fire in a distant canyon for his
visitors, which caused mild excite'
ment, and afterward explained that
the smoke came from Lewis Brothers'
sawmill at Prospect.
Occasional thunder storms early
In the week added a touch of spice
not originally planned in the pro
gram. Huge drops at unexpected mo
ments sent campers scurrying be
neath the trees or under cover of
tents at meal time, and sent slight
ly dampened wardrobes to the clothes
line to dry. Hiking was a popular
port, a few preferring to take to
the trails before breakfast.
Enjoy Dally Programs.
An outstanding event of the week
was the program of songs, music
and stunts around a bonfire every
evening, which closed with vesper
services. At this time campers looked
forward to getting a glimpse or
themselves through the camp news
paper given over the air" through
station BLOW. "Side Glances" were
featured In one broadcast of the
paper. '
Mrs. MabM C. Mack, home demon
stration agent, was camp director,
and was assisted by Miss Helen Ann
Thomas of Corvallla, home demon
stratlon agent at large.
The fifty campers were an Indus
trious lot, and in addition to doing
the crafts taught each day by Mrs.

Banker-Poet Writes
Ode to Shakespeare
At the request of the Oregon
Shakespearean Festival committee,
Delroy Oetchell, Medford's hanker-1
poet, has written a short poem dedl-
cated to Shaxespare. I
It follows:
The Master Bard
The grand and uncomplaining one.
As lasting as the sky;
Among all stars be Is the sun
Who shines afar and nigh.
Approach his dramas where we will
And read the glowing lines.
They instruct still, Vxslt the will,
And rule where worti defines.
Then emotions follow faster
Than word or thought may tell.
Aa low-bending we cry "Master.
And live within his spell.
Surrounded by the waters wide
He spoke to every shore.
In tones that flew beyond the tide,
Resounding more and more.
Ah, who may more exalt his fame?
It grows while ages roll,
And Time's own finger writes his
name
Upon a world-wide scroll.
Delroy Oetchell.

near King's highway Is now In Its
sixth year of activity.
Maintained by the two abovs
mentioned federal departments and
by. the Oregon agricultural exten
sion service, this organization Is the
only experiment station In the
world which confines Its research
entirely to pears. Study of Irriga
tion and closely-related problems in
pear production constitute the work
at the station.
Study Many Angles
Snow surveys. Irrigation water
supply forecasts, studies of Irriga
tion water penetration, studlea of
duty of water, and measurement of
noil moisture conditions as affected
by pear trees are all Included In
the activities of the U. S. bureau
of agricultural engineering at the
station. Meanwhile, the TJ. S. bur
eau of plant Industry studies the
tree responses to dlferent Irrigation
practices and the relation of irriga
tion to pruning, fruit thinning and
fertilization to ield and quality of
the fruits.
Aid To Growers
The entire research program la
designed to show pear growers how
to determine whether trees are re

to snow growers wnen sucn prac
tices as pruning, fruit thlnnlng'and
fertilization can be used to advan

At the present time Dr. Aldrlch
Is studying certain specific prob

experiments are being directed to

Mr. Work and Bruce Allyn are
